Probability distribution part 2
​

Answer 1

b. -0.862

Explanation:

The only answer choice with a minus sign is B, which is the correct choice.

When the value of interest is below the mean (2800 is below 3550), the z-score will be negative:

z = (2800 -3550)/870 = -750/870 ≈ -0.86207 ≈ -0.862

_____

As always, z is computed as ...

Z = (X -μ)/σ
